Supreme Court lets Trump resume third-country deportations
The justices said they will hear the case in December after the government argued the pause caused logistical problems and canceled a flight carrying 70 people.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court removed obstacles to the Trump administration deporting certain immigrants to "third countries" to which they have no previous connection, marking the second time the Court has intervened.
- The justices granted an emergency request to pause an appeals court ruling that deemed the process unlawful because affected people lacked a "meaningful opportunity" to raise safety concerns regarding potential persecution.
- Solicitor General John Sauer stated that halting removals "created substantial logistical problems with ongoing removal operations," citing the immediate cancellation of one flight carrying 70 people with criminal convictions last week.
- According to the Migration Policy Institute, approximately 15,000 people have been sent to third countries including South Sudan, Eswatini, and Rwanda since the policy began in early 2025.
- The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in December, at which time the justices plan to issue a definitive ruling on the legal questions regarding the administration's authority to conduct these deportations.
